Installing the ADO.NET Client Silently

Note: The ADO and ADO.NET clients are currently available only in OpenAccess SDK 8.1. However, they are compatible with the OpenAccess SDK 9.0 server.

1. Using a command line, change to the directory containing the installation file for the ADO.NET Client

   • oanet32_win_version_setup.exe on a 32-bit machine

   • oanet64_win_version_setup.exe on a 64-bit machine

     where version is the OpenAccess SDK version number.

2. Using a command line, type the following command:

   oanet32[64]_win_*version*_setup.exe /s /v"INSTALLDIR=*install_dir* /qn /l*v *\path\logname*.txt "

   where

   install_dir is the installation directory, for example, \"C:\Program Files\DataDirect\oaadonet90\" .

   version is the OpenAccess SDK version number.

   path\logname.txt is the the path where you want the log file created, as well as the name of the log file, for example, c:\oanet.txt.

3. Press ENTER. The installation will proceed, using defaults, without requiring any further interaction. The /s switch specifies a silent installation. Other switches and properties can also be used to customize the installation; see the Microsoft Windows Installer SDK documentation.
